Additionally, a positive correlation was observed between cytoplasmic HHEX expression in IECs and pathological score across 15 UC samples ( R = 0.5585, P = 0.0319), whereas correlation between nuclear HHEX expression in IECs and pathological score did not reach statistical significance ( R = 0.4919, P = 0.0666) ( Figure 1E ).
